Maolan Plugins
The complete Maolan in-house plugin collection. Built in Rust as CLAP plugins with Iced-based GUIs in the TokyoNight theme.
Dynamics
Compressors, limiters, and de-essers for controlling dynamics and taming peaks.
Compressor
rs.maolan.compressor.mono
rs.maolan.compressor.stereo
4-band multiband compressor with LR4 crossovers. Peak/RMS sidechain, downward/upward/boosting modes, lookahead, sidechain boost, and classic/modern topology. Based on LSP.
Limiter
rs.maolan.maximizer
Adaptive clipper/limiter with Vintage and Modern variants. Multiple limiting modes from subtle attenuation to aggressive clipping. Stereo I/O.
DeEsser
rs.maolan.deesser
Sibilance reduction processor. Detects ess sounds via slew-rate patterns across a configurable window. IIR smoothing, dynamic ratio reduction, and monitor mode. Stereo I/O.
EQ
Precise tone shaping with 32 bands in both graphic and parametric flavors.
Parametric EQ
rs.maolan.equalizer.parametric.mono
rs.maolan.equalizer.parametric.stereo
32-band parametric equalizer using peaking biquad filters. Each band has independent Frequency, Gain, and Q controls. Input and output gain with bypass.
Graphic EQ
rs.maolan.equalizer.graphic.mono
rs.maolan.equalizer.graphic.stereo
32-band graphic equalizer. Band 1 is a low-shelf, band 32 is a high-shelf, and bands 2–31 are peaking filters at fixed frequencies (Q = 1.2). Input and output gain with bypass.
Time & Space
Delays and reverbs for depth, dimension, and atmosphere.
Delay
rs.maolan.delay.mono
rs.maolan.delay.stereo
Delay with millisecond or tempo-synced note divisions. Circular buffers with linear interpolation and smooth delay-time chasing. Reads host BPM from CLAP transport.
Reverb
rs.maolan.reverb.mono
rs.maolan.reverb.stereo
Stereo reverb built from three allpass-like delay blocks with cross-feedback, vibrato predelay, and input/output lowpass filters. Based on Airwindows Reverb.
Stereo
Stereo width processors and imagers for spatial control.
Stereo
rs.maolan.imager
Stereo width processor. Mid/side processing with density controls and delay-based focus. Stereo I/O. Best suited for mastering.
Widener
rs.maolan.widener
Multiband stereo width processor with independent Low, Mid, and High band controls. Uses LR4 crossovers and mid/side processing per band. Monitor mode for checking stereo, mono, and side signals. Stereo I/O. Best suited for single instruments.
Tone & Character
Saturation, color, and monitoring reference tools.
Saturator
rs.maolan.saturator
Waveshape saturation with sine-based distortion and intensity-dependent blend. Stereo I/O.
Monitoring
rs.maolan.monitoring
Monitoring toolbox with 17 reference modes for checking mixes on different playback systems. Stereo I/O.
Instruments & Modeling
Drum sampling and neural amp modeling.
Drust
rs.maolan.drust
Drum sampler CLAP plugin inspired by DrumGizmo. Async kit loading, MIDI triggering, velocity mapping, round-robin, humanization, per-output balancing, and built-in limiter. 16 mono outputs (Kick L/R, Snare L/R, HiHat L/R, Toms L/R, Ride L/R, Crash L/R, China/Splash L/R, Ambience L/R).
Rural Modeler
rs.maolan.ruralmodeler
Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) plugin. Loads neural network amp models and impulse responses. Includes a noise gate, tone stack (Bass/Mid/Treble), input/output calibration, and DC blocking. Mono I/O.
Plugin Format
All Maolan plugins are distributed as CLAP (CLever Audio Plugin) binaries with embedded Iced GUIs. They support Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows.
The plugin collection is developed in the plugins repository. UI windowing is handled by baseview, a low-level window system interface for audio plugin UIs.
